Aftermarket stock

[couesarizona]

Would like to get your opinions on a new stock for my 260. Remington. It will be used for hunting purposes. Rifle is stock as of now. Thanks in advance!

I highly recommend Manners, specifically the Extreme Hunter Series. I have a EH1 on my 260 and I love it

I put Bell and Carlson stocks on my rifles and like them alot.

 

[couesarizona]

Thanks for the reply guys.

Depends on what you are wanting to spend. I can not make myself spend $600+ on a stock, so I stick with Bell and Carlson or HS. Between the 2, I prefer feel of Bell and Carlson. If you are willing to make the next big jump, hard to beat manners or mcmillan.

Is there any companies that ppl have had bad experiences with? I had seen a boyds pro varmint stock for 129 bucks. Any input on that stock?

 

[teamvit]

Boyds look heavy. I guess I have to ask what are you looking to gain by switching out the stock? weight, fit? HuntHarder has good advice as far as price

I assume since you are posting in the long range thread you are looking at a stock geared for prone shooting. Probably the most affordable stock for this is a greybull, made for them but bell and Carlson. I have one and it's a good stock. I also have manners and mcmillian and I like them better but not everyone wants to spend 700+ on a stock

Here is more information on my set up and what I'm wanting. I purchased a savage 260. Remington for hunting. Why savage..no real reason. I had a good friend of mine make me some loads for it and it shoots sub moa. I have a vortex viper hs-t 4-16x44 on it. My buddy also glass beded the stock. I'm not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars on the rifle. Just wanting to get the best out of what I have. I hunt coues and mule deer down here in southeastern AZ.

If you aren't willing to spend at least 300$ on a stock I say stick with what you got it seems to be shooting pretty well.

I agree 100%. You won't really be getting anything you don't already have for less than that.

The only exception I would make is if you want to go with a laminated wood stock which I like other than the weight. I have one on my 6.5-06 and it is very comfortable and I shoot it really well. Like I said though it's not a lightweight option.

 

[couesarizona]

What are the pros/cons of a laminated wood stock? I wouldn't mind a little extra weight to help with the recoil.

 

[Shrek]

The wood laminate is stable and tough. The big downside is the weight. If weight isn't an issue the a Boyds or Richards Microfit is a solid choice. Bed it and see. Don't get rid of your current stock as it's alread bedded and shoots well. You can swap stocks and check your zero and adjust in a couple of shots with both stocks.

Takes a look at the new Grayboe Stocks. Ryan McMillan started this company and trust me they are worth taking a look at. The Renegade, which is a McMillan A5 retails for 339.00! I have done a full review on them and am finishing it up, let me tell you the price and quality is unbelievable. grayboe Red Hawk Rifles is going to be a huge distributor of them, they currently have Renegade Rem700 Short Actions available in black, inletted for BDL floor plate or the M5.Red Hawk Rifles | High-performance Remington model 700 rifles, optics, stocks, accessories and gunsmithing services.

Here is one of our rifles with the Grayboe Renegade tactical stock. We are selling these for $319.

We are also going to be selling the Grayboe Outlander sporter stock for $269.

 

[HuntHarder]

Those Grayboe's are nice looking. Any specs on them? Do they have an aluminum block, or do they need to be pillar bedded?

 

[CZRossman]

They are a solid fiberglass resin mixture that are pillar bedded; they do not have the full aluminum block. Average weight is 3.9lbs and they measure 32" OAL.

 

[realunlucky]
